God’s Plan for the Work Today—When Jesus sent His disciples forth to labor, ... they did not feel as some do now, that they would rather work alone than have anyone with them who did not labor just as they labored. Our Saviour understood what ones to associate together. He did not connect with the mild, beloved John one of the same temperament; but He connected with him the ardent, impulsive Peter. These two men were not alike either in their disposition or in their manner of labor. Peter was prompt and zealous in action, bold and uncompromising, and would often wound; John was ever calm, and considerate of others’ feelings, and would come after to bind up and encourage. Thus the defects in one were partially covered by the virtues in the other. [See also pp. 103-107, “Allowing for More Than One Man’s Method.”] {Ev 72.3}

Guds plan for arbejdet i dag. - Da Jesus sendte sine disciple ud for at arbejde, . . . havde de det ikke på samme måde som nogle har det nu, at de hellere vil arbejde alene end have nogle med sig, der ikke arbejder som de gør? Vor Frelser forstod hvilke kunne arbejde sammen. Han satte ikke den milde, elskede Johannes sammen med én af samme temperament; men han satte ham sammen med den fyrige, impulsive Peter. Disse (73) to mænd var hverken ens i deres natur eller i deres arbejdsmetode. Peter handlede hurtigt og nidkært, var frimodig og kompromisløs og ville ofte såre. Johannes var altid stille og hensynsfuld over for andre og gik bagefter for at binde op og opmuntre. Således blev den enes mangler delvist skjult, ved den andens dyder.
